disease-pests Are these peppers diseased?

the first 2 pics are of my Chilitepin plant, and orange habanero. They are growing really slow, have had the same sets of leaves for months and the leaves are yellow and round/curled

the second pics are 2 other plants which have lots of peppers, but for some reason peppers are small, not growing in size and have black bruises over them. Am i just being impatient? these two plants have normal healthy leaves.

any help on wheather i should destroy these plants? My others are growing fine.
 
What is the soil like? Is it just potting soil you have bought or did you mix it? I ask because I have had some peppers two years ago that looked like this and when I tested the soil it was at 5 (backyard soil put in to pots). They produced but with little plant growth and with short misshaped leaves.
